Lawn Fawn/Marvy collab

Hi there!

We've reached the end of our Lawn Fawn/Marvy collaboration week, and I'm showing off my contribution:



The folks at Marvy were so generous and sent me a set of Le Plume markers. They are alcohol markers like Copics, and blend beautifully. I used them to color the plane (from Plane and Simple,) the edge of the clouds, and the banner.  I will definitely be reaching for them again!



The custom sentiment was a labor of love. I saw it on a chalkboard print and wanted to recreate it on my card. The latter part was easy - I used Riley's ABCs to spell out AIRPLANES FLY. No problemo.

For the first half, that I slipped into the banner, I spliced letters and words together from Sewn With Love. What you see here is not my first try, but I thought the sentiment was so sweet and I'm a little stubborn.

I hope you like it! There's more to see on the LF blog this morning - click!

talk nerdy to me {new lawn fawn!}

I love anything bookworm-themed. As soon as I saw the cute little worm from Bugs and Kisses, I knew I would have him draped over the Science of Love textbook.

It's the last day of Lawn Fawn's December release reveals, and I bring you:

The nerdiest valentine's day card ever. Maybe we've stepped away from the kiddie class valentines on this one, hee hee. Especially since every time my hubs walks by this card, he starts with the horn riff from that song.



I love lawn fawn's new stitched circle dies! The come as a nested set, so it's not hard to fit the right size to frame your focal image.  I also used Riley's ABCs to create my custom sentiment, and the library card from Check This Out.

I hope you like it!

"c" is for cake {lawn fawn inspiration week}

It's the last day of lawn fawn inspiration week!  I hope you've enjoyed seeing all of the design team projects. Today, we're highlighting the mini-sets: year three and mother's day.

I stepped out of my usual card size to make something a little taller and thinner (just what I'd like to be, hee.)



I stamped the "c" from quinn's abcs, and "is for" from riley's abcs.  It's hard to tell in the photos, but I added glossy accents to the "c" and also to the flower in the vase at the bottom.  I stamped, colored, and glittered up the fun little chocolate cake.



Want a slice?  I placed it onto the love 'n breakfast tray.  Just for you.  If it's your birthday :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving the sweetest comments this week.  You know how to give a girl a lift!

my home is with you {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Welcome to another day of lawn fawn inspiration! We are showcasing "riley's abc's" - a super fun-looking alphabet set.

I decided the a full quote would be the best way to show it off:

I paired riley's with a little birdhouse and used clouds as masks only to create my little scene.  I alternated using the capital and lowercase letters, to create visual interest.  

I kept things soft by stamping in a dark grey ink instead of black, and tied a matching ribbon around the bottom of the card.  I'm kind of digging this orange, kraft and grey scheme - what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

oh baby it's a wild world {lawn fawn inspiration week}

It's the last day of lawn fawn inspiration week, and today we're showing off a great new background set: sharp backdrops.

The arrows went for a safari feel on today's card.  I masked and stamped animals and trees from "critters on the savanna" to create a little scene at the bottom of the card.

I love how only the lion was given the 3D treatment (If you don't count the lion, this is a 1-layer card!)  After they were all colored, I masked the animals and stamped the arrow background to fill the entire card-base.  I did not mask the trees or the rock that the zebra is propped up on - that would have just been silly *grin*  I actually like the way that the arrows show through the trees - it's a cool effect!

My sentiment was stamped out using "riley's abcs" and I love how it's right-justified.  It gives the arrow background a place to shine, and is just plain fun, stacked over there on the side.  

I hope you've enjoyed my inspiration week projects!  It's been fun!

Hop on over here! {lawn fawn inspiration week}

This is my second post today!  I'd love it if you checked out my oscars-inspired card *here* or just scroll down.

Welcome to the third inspiration week post with lawn fawn!  Today, we're showing off the mini happy easter set - it's so adorable!

I did some masking on the left side of the card to show all of the bunnies and the little chickie hanging out together.  The one bunny set himself apart to play hard-to-get, I think *wink*  I stamped the little dashed lines to show the hopping path his little friend took to get to him.  I cut out and propped up my two main bunnies, to draw the eye across and over to them.

I colored the bunnies with a very subtle stripe of a light warm grey marker, and gave them little blushy cheeks and pink ears too.  I'm bringing back the liquid appliqué - it's still perfect for creating bushy bunny tails.

My sentiment was custom-stamped using the new Riley's ABCs alphabet set.  I set it on a long strip of patterned paper that I folded under the card, and had peek around the other side.  And, there's that fringe again!  I might give it a rest for the next little while - hee.  One last decorative touch was to punch double holes in the patterned paper and lace some green/white lawn trimming in there.  

I hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by!
